Clinton’s Handlers: Hillary Misspoke About Her Role In Bosnia

An aide to Senator Hillary Clinton acknowledged on Monday that the New York Senator "misspoke" about the immediate dangers she faced when, as first lady, she visited war torn Bosnia.
Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s chief spokesperson, said on a conference call that "it is possible in the most recent instance with which she discussed this that she misspoke, with regards to the leaving of the plane." Later, he was more certain: "On one occasion, she misspoke."
But Wolfson insisted that the first lady’s visit was indeed perilous, as supported by "contemporaneous accounts" in the press.
In recent weeks, Senator Clinton has sought to bolster her national security and foreign policy credentials by highlighting the role she played in Bosnia.
"We came in under sniper fire," she recently told the press. "There was no greeting ceremony. We ran with our heads down, and were basically told to run to our cars."

The account has been, for better or worse, proven false, both by recent press reports and old video footage that shows the senator greeting a child in a ceremonial procession at the Tuzla airport.
On Monday, Wolfson sought to re-frame the debate by citing various newspaper write-ups from the 1996 trip to support the notion that Clinton was, in fact, in a dangerous situation.
"The trip to Bosnia marks the first time since Roosevelt that a first lady has voyaged to a potential combat zone," he read from a Washington Post story on March 25, 1996. "Other fist ladies have visited troops abroad but never in front-line positions."
But even that newspaper story included evidence directly contradicting Clinton’s claims from last week.
"When she arrived in Tuzla," the story continued, "she was greeted by Emina Cicakcic who planted a kiss on each of Mrs. C’s cheeks. The 8-year old Muslim girl then read a poem in English."
Asked once more to explain the discrepancies, Wolfson hinted that the senator was referring to sniper fire that was heard, at the time, in the hills surrounding the airport (something the senator herself has written about in her book).
"I think she clearly meant to say that at the event of several days ago," he said.

The U.S. involvement in Bosnia is one of the more criminal disgusting operations the U.S. government has been involved in, in a long line of genocidal missions which far surpass any other major world criminals like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc. combined. It is ashamed that the citizens of the U.S. have complacently gone along with these atrocities, because they are soon to find out what it is like to be in a war zone, right here in the homeland.

lets look at it another way
you rise and fall in america under a hypothetical blanket of freedom
you support by default the sending of children of this country to die for you
you allow children to act as enforcement of laws over you every minute of every day
you decide against God with every breath you take bending your knee to this rogue government
you condone their sickifism and their murder
you are a accomplice to the murder of innocent lives
you vote though you know its a fraud and you do nothing
they steal your money and you give God pennies
they lie and you say nothing
they blaspheme and you are silent
we the people who donot draw a line in the sand for Gods sake are dead in their spirit
you have relented your will unto the lawless one
it is not strength in God that keeps you safe
it is your hiding from your responsibility to stand your ground for God
if you had the balls to take the stand on Gods Will
you would have pursued the exposing of the unjust your whole life
vengence is The Lords
you are The Lords
you are not your own property to sit back and wait
your job is to go toe to toe, face to face with luciferian evil

Misspoke, lie, what’s the difference among dictators. I hope this sticks to her guts, she has disqualified herself by doing far worse than this. It’s nice to see the media give her crap for once.

I would hitchhike down to the US to Washington to see Bill and Hillary hung on the White House lawn. We should be demanding it because they are both guilty of countelss examples of treason and murder. The entire Bush family too…

If Hillary wins the election, this means Bill will become our invisible president.
And if Bill becomes invisible, this means that when Bill & Hillary do it on the Whitehouse roof, Bill will be invissible.
I sure hope Superman does his thing, more powerfull than a locomotive and nails Bill right in the butt.

Only people such as Hillary would have the label in the MSM news of having “Misspoke” concerning what is evidently an out and out… “LIE” according to we commoner unelite Americans.
